PROVO, Utah — As guard Jaden Bradley stepped to the line to put No. 1 Arizona up 11 points with just under 90 seconds left, more than a handful of the normally boisterous and swaying BYU fans used the momentary break in action on the court to slink away to the Marriott Center exits.
Like lemmings up the stairs, they marched upward and outward into the chilly Utah night believing the only thing left to decide was the final margin of one of the biggest games the school had hosted in several years. The Wildcats led by 19 midway through the second half and looked quite content to mosey their way toward adding one more notch to their perfect record.
